A kinsman of the minister of Labour and Employment, Dr Chris Ngige, Mr Olisa Igbonwa, who was rumoured to have been buried alive, has surfaced, DailyPost is reporting.
Igbonwa, an indigene of Alor, was said to have taken a chieftaincy title as Ichie Ngene, a decision the community felt was not within his right, leading to a mock burial conducted on him by the elders of the community.
A source said, “They gave the man thirty days to renounce the title because it was meant for an older Chief. He refused and they conducted a mock burial as a warning to him.”[/b]
Rumour has been flying that Igbonwa was in a casket taken round the community by the elders, and bur!ed in a forest. But the Anambra State Police Command, in a press release on Wednesday, said Igbonwa visited the command to institute a case against the elders of his community.
The State Police Command’s spokesperson, DSP Toochukwu Ikenga in a press release said: “Igbonwa visited the command physically to make a formal complaint, saying that he received a chieftaincy title from HRM Igwe Alor but was threatened by one Mr Uzoma Igbonwa and others to renounce the chieftaincy title within 30days or he will face dare consequences.”[/i]
